Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

The application of elbow grease to avoid a ferry glide.

Refreshed by our stop we...

...continued up the west coast of Great Cumbrae island with Bute and Arran in the background.

Mike and I swapped the Delphin and the Cetus MV and it was...

...not long until we rounded the north end of the island and entered the Largs Channel which separates the east coast of Great Cumbrae from the town of Largs on the Ayrshire coast.

We could now see all the way down the channel to the twin cranes of the Hunterston ore terminal.

The SW wind had now veered to the NW and we were able to continue sailing on the final leg of our circular course.
